This discussion begins and ends with True Romance. A great movie by Tarintino that not many people have seen. It has a great cast of actors.

He wrote it, did not direct it, Tony Scott did the movie and changed the S cript a lot, Tarintino sold the S cript to make Reservoir dogs, I like True Romance a lot, just corrected you, since Im a movie geek

I never said he directed it. It is a name people know so I thought people would check it out because he is attached to it. Very underrated in my opinion.

That is exactly the first movie I thought of. Panned by critics, and avoided by movie-goers, I saw it by accident. And loved it.

I got the book and read it as well. The movie did it justice, I thought.

Good Will Hunting (I know a lot of people like it but I consider one of the best of my time)

Wow...this movie gives me nightmares. Not to say it isn't good, because I think it is...it just scares me. Jennifer Connelly...SO HOT!

Along the same lines, and I believe underappreciated, Trainspotting. I had the pleasure of watching this movie as a part of the English 105 curriculum at good 'ole Iowa State University.

One of my favorite movies of all time is "The Insider" starring Russell Crowe as the big tobacco whistleblower and Al Pacino as a producer for 60 Minutes. I think it was fairly critically acclaimed but wasn't a box office smash. It is a fascinating true story, definitely worth throwing into your Netflix cue!

Anyone see In Bruges? I loved it when I saw it, and really want to see it again.
